This is the truth, every time you work on something, whether it be computers or cars, you are automatically to blame for everything that happens to it forever it seems.Quote:

After you get it running and return it to the customer he says.
"It ran better before you worked on it." It's one of the reasons
I got out of the repair business.
I can fix your car, but I can't fix your life!
:cool:
I have customers who have had work done and then 7 years later when another part of their car rusts, they think it was because of the work they had done on the other part 7 years prior.
No different that computers, many people think hardware and software are virtually the same thing. So as a result, fix their hardware, in their minds, you are responsible for all that goes wrong with the computer.
